Megha Sarayan Builds Rs 2 Crore Bakery Business After Rejecting IIM MBA OfferPreviousNext

Megha Sarayan, an economics graduate from the University of Calcutta, declined admission to IIM Kozhikode to focus on her bakery business, Land Of Cakes, started with Rs 5,000 from her mother's kitchen. The venture grew through online platforms and cloud kitchens, earning over Rs 2 crore annually and securing Rs 1 crore investment on Shark Tank India. Despite challenges like the pandemic, she expanded her brand, now known as Modge by Land of Cakes, without external investors or mentors initially.
